Condition
The canvas appears to be unlined. It seems that a strip may have been added along the bottom-most edge, and vertically along the right side. U.V. light reveals some tiny retouches here and there, mostly along the additional strips, and also at bottom in the drapery and torso. U.V. light also shows a possible addition in the shadows of the figure's chin.
